AFL Rd 12 2022 We have the Bye!

Comes at a good time for us. Hopefully we'll get a few guys back in the next few weeks.
Live Long and Prosper!

With Weitering's injury and the MSD coming, this weekend couldn't be better for us.

I'm ambivalent about the bye  :-\

I used to look forward to our bye because it meant a weekend without a humiliating loss.  I know that the bye brings us one week closer to the return of Harry, Weiters, Pitto, Zac, Marchy and Gov, and the players will benefit from a week off, but I'd prefer to be watching us play this weekend.

The bye also gives Sam Durdin some time to learn our defensive set ups.

Never write the Doggies off, particularly when they’re playing the Cats 🙂

Bailey Smith is a very very good player.

The bye gives us a chance to take stock. Although that shouldn't take long as our stocks are low and damaged. 

Fortunate the bye coincides with the draft. Whilst Hayes knows our systems, it'll give Durdin tall version, a chance to size up his role and the pace of play. Albeit only during training.

Do you think he'll come straight in?

Hopefully he's a very fast learner and is given a clear role within his skillset

The other six defenders should be able to cover for Durdin if he isn’t all over our defensive structures after a week and a bit.

What Durdin won’t be able to do is provide the leadership and direction that Weiters does.  Doc and Plow will have step up.

Worrying about our place in the eight hasn’t been problem for quite a while 🙂

We’ve got an extra game to play and that should push the pretenders back.

Indeed, I guess what I'm eluding to is a win against the Filth would have made a world of difference. One that got away definitely and one we may well rue.
